Why does the investigation ask you to blot egg each time it is removed from a beaker?

The investigation asks you to blot dry an egg each time you remove it from the water as it is important to ensure the egg is free from excess water. Leaving excess water on the surface of the egg can affect the accuracy of the egg's weight readings and potentially introduce inconsistencies in the experiment. By carefully blotting the egg, the investigation aims to minimize the amount of water clinging to its surface, ensuring more precise and reliable measurements.
